i must have seen a different film!!

Fresh and Exciting

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

I decided to watch this movie based on its description. It seemed like an interesting movie. Digging into your past is usually a good thing, so why not? The ambiance of this movie is good enough. Lighting is good, even in dark scenes. Colors really set the mood in this one. Sound was also good, as well as the music to set the mood. The acting was great and quite believable.The storyline was also good. You have a woman who goes home to the location of a horrible car accident that has traumatized her in order to make sense of life. They did a good job letting the audience get to know the main character, as well as other main characters. The flaw in the storyline is there is no explanation for her supernatural ability to see what her sister has seen. I wish they would've explained that in more detail.This movie did not trigger a lot of emotion for me but it was entertaining nonetheless. I felt bad for the main character and especially for her burned up sister. If you have time after an evening of PvP'ing in World of Warcraft, pop in this video and enjoy!!

Answer: "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!" And if a London-born actor can convey that sentiment about ordinary media slop with such force as to win the only posthumous Oscar for a line he uttered during NETWORK in that most American of years, how can so many "baaaah" like sheep when the foreign plot against our culture is so much further along in the 21st Century? BENEATH is a second-rate Canadian-made horror\thriller with little to recommend it beyond the DVD box art. However, because the characters are ESPECIALLY stupid, the Canadians have pretended they're all Americans, living in Montana (instead of Vancouver, BC, where this propaganda was manufactured). Ten of the 14 comments posted prior to mine originate from Europe or South America, and heap little-deserved praises on this hatchet job. As of today, U.S. and non-U.S. IMDb users "award" BENEATH an identical failing rating of 5.3 out of 10. Yet the elite subset whose comments find their way onto this page are overwhelmingly non- (un-?) American and implausibly ga-ga in their kudos.Why, you might ask, would Canadians cringe to fly their red maple leaf over the populace of BENEATH? 1)A daughter disappears with no warning one day (because she's been murdered by her employer!), and the missing woman's dad and friends never give her a second thought for six years (the audience is supposed to infer the employer was able to forge a couple convincing post cards from the other side of the country, but even Montana has police and private investigators--you can't just enter a few fictitious facts on the internet, and have Google make a professional person from a small town disappear overnight, for gosh sakes). 2)The emergency exits from a mine shaft lead out the chimney places of the mine owner's mansion?! Even if this is a bald-face lie, no real American with a college degree (i.e., Christy Wescot in this movie) could believe such balderdash for a second, no matter how much they had had to drink! 3)An injured wife with a good prognosis (and, remember, she WAS still strong as an ox six years later) is suddenly reported to have died at home by her husband, who then is allowed to seal her in a casket SIGHT UNSEEN by any medical examiner, police officer, or funeral home employee! If that's how they do things in Canada, then just say so. Have BENEATH take place in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, which probably has a bigger population than the whole state of Montana. But no, the goal here does not seem to be making money in North America, but to have everyone exposed to this ideological filth believe Americans are so stupid they're ripe for another terror attack, United Nations bailout, "ugly American" book, etc. U.S. citizens should write their Congress people, demanding this vision of a counterfeit, idiotic United States stop at our borders. After all, France has outlawed Muslim head-scarves "to protect French culture," and the Germans have long ago banned "skinhead" haircuts. But if you have so much as a corner of a vintage Coppertone suntan oil ad exposed in your vehicle, Canadian border agents at the Blue Water Bridge will detain you for at least three hours while they pile all your belongings on the sidewalk in the rain, perhaps disassemble the van down to its chassis (as other agents go to their break room when it gets too cold for them, and fast-forward through your DVDs such as NURSES IN CHAINS and THE LATE SHIFT AT HOOTERS while swilling hot chocolate floating those little marshmallows on top), and then return your disc's but keep your classic americana artwork, and say you can go without so much as a "sorry for your inconvenience" (or, better yet, a wrench). Certainly we can enact a self-protection law requiring that regional coding for a movie like BENEATH will not play on machines sold here, and that if anyone tries to download BENEATH, they'll get an error message like a Beijinger Googling "freedom!"

A 25 year-old woman gives her 12 year-old sister the steering wheel of her car - for a drive on a bumpy, country road - and then acts like a total moron, while her underage sis tries to calm her down. This results in - shock! - an accident!!!! That really came as a super-twist, and so early on in the movie. Amazing how well MTV can entertain us.I've seen so very few horror films, thrillers, and dramas start off with a car accident, so you can imagine how startled I was by this amazing turn of events. How did they come up with that? What kind of inventive minds are hired by MTV's movie department these days? On the other hand, there are several reasonable twists toward the end, although the one with the girl stabbing her deformed mother was a bit too silly.Overall, a forgettable but not awful B-movie, with a rather unappealing, flat-chested female in the role of the surviving sister.Find me a movie that starts with a car-ride which DOESN'T end with a road accident.

Beneath starts with one of those implausible accidents where a car that doesn't seem to be driving too fast hits some boxes of earth that have been left out on the road (as you do) causing them to skid and crash.Kristy (Heroine) is thrown from the car while her sister Vanessa (on the non-impacted side) appears to be trapped and then the fuel tank explodes.One could say that Vanessa should never have let Kristy drive, as she was under age, and if she was going to let her then possibly not standing in the passenger seat whooping may have helped. Possibly not.Kristy is heading to the funeral of the caretaker, Joseph, who seemed to have cared for her after her sisters death (except we know she isn't really because we see many shots of her burned skin - and alive). In fact Kristy thinks she was buried alive - there can't be far fewer hints that she is alive can there? At times the script seems to have little idea where it is going. Lines which may have once meant to establish something, the doctors family with the mine they had trouble closing and John Locke's mother who speaks the "ancient tongue" - a mix between a number of European languages - all seem to be badly devised red herrings or more likely writers ideas that were never edited out.Kristy however wants to find out the truth and Nora Zehetner (Kristy) really tries to get something out of a stodgy script. However with John acting all evil you feel the actor has read to the end of the script and found out that he is... well evil, or mad, or just badly written as he is acted.Kristy also suffers from hallucinations and this for me is one of the main points that lets the film down. If her hallucinations were really this bad would she have been let out of the mental hospital, especially when some of her visions see her causing people harm or blacking out for 2 hour periods only to be found fitting in your friends back garden (a friend you are staying with because you forgot to ask beforehand if you could stay at your brother-in-laws place).Other questions arise as to whether school websites really do carry peoples personal details (I'll have to check my own for phone numbers), how much light can a mobile phone really produce and why Mr Wells uses a shotgun to shoot at birds. My favorite is the fact that the police take Kristy at night and the next shot she is in the back seat in full daylight. Were they taking her for a cruise round town? Finally when Vanessa is found to be alive (gasp, shock) she has one of those pro-active kill spree agendas which is never truly explained by the plot.There are positives to be taken here and it does not outstay its welcome however Beneath really does little to complement itself either, bar Nora Zehetner and a reasonable music score.
